I dunno why, but if you type in
http://welsh.awardspace.com/CHOICES.gif
the image loads fine. However, if you type in
http://welsh.awardspace.com/CHOICES.jpg
you get a "forbidden" message followed by a redirect to the host (if that's them).
My guess is your host has some strange restriction on your use of jpg images (huh?). If you can, check out you host control panel, see if some sort of anti-virus restriction is in place.

Hope this helps

Do you have NORTON installed on your computer? I just read some obscure referance to NORTON's restrictions of 'banner ads' and that these tend to be 'of a certain size (in KB)', and *jpg. An unlucky combination of both might cause NORTON to 'adblock' (is that the right word??) the image...
The recommendation was change the image's format, or re-size the image larger or smaller (but the writer did not state what size causes this fluke, or what size might cause NORTON to stop identifying the file as possibly being something bad...)
-Like I said, rather obscure and I kind of have a hard time totally believing this without personal first-hand experience. That *jpg failed and *gif worked made me think of this...

Must admit, I have a site with a banner graphic called "banner.jpg" and Norton keeps blocking it - really annoying - not just me then. (Had to rename it but if changing to a gif does the job then that'll do too).

The media tab in a Firefox View Page Info is REALLY squirrelly on the JPEG page. It looks to me like that image is clobbered on the server.

Type: text/html that's wrong for starters! I suspect you don't have such a file uploaded.

I reckon its because some of the file names are in CAPS , try lower case on all of them and let me know.
